Demonic Inquisition Tomb of Sargeras Early Preview with FatbossTV

Tomb of Sargeras, Legion's 4th raid, opens in Patch 7.2.5. In preparation for the upcoming raid, FatbossTV created early previews of all the upcoming bosses. Closer to the launch of Tomb of Sargeras, Fatboss will be creating in-depth video guides, as well as written raid strategy guides published on Wowhead.

The Demonic Inquisition, Atrigan and Belac, is the second boss in the Tomb of Sargeras raid. This is a single-phase encounter with two bosses that have a shared health pool. Throughout this encounter, you'll become more tormented, and you need to confess your sins by jumping into a cage behind the boss.

Torment is shown through a bar at the bottom of your screen and is gained through boss abilities, some of which are unavoidable. At 100% you'll get the severe Unbearable Torment debuff, which can only be removed through using your Extra Action Button to teleport to a separate area. After teleporting, you'll fight a mob who spawns Remnant of Hope orbs as you deal damage - pick up the orbs to reduce Torment, then teleport back out into the main fight area.

Demonic Inquisition

Anticipating the arrival of mortal forces invading the Tomb of Sargeras, Kil'jaeden has called on his best captors, Atrigan and Belac, to lock down the interlopers and prevent them from using the Pillars to advance deeper into the dungeon.

Loot

Loot starts at 885 on LFR, 900 on Normal, 915 on Heroic, and 930 on Mythic.

Torment
– Torment increases when attacks and abilities from Atrigan and Belac strike players. Players that reach full Torment are afflicted with Unbearable Torment and must Confess in order to remove the effect.

Unbearable Torment
– The inquisition has broken you. All damage done is reduced by 20%, your chance to hit is reduced by 90% your healing done is reduced by 25%, and all damage taken is increased by 90%.

Confess
– You confess your actions against the Legion to the demonic inquisition and are transported into Belac's fel prison.

Tormented Soul
– A massive soul has coalesced within Belac's cage, trapped and tormented for thousands of years. While on the surface it is no more than a mass of ill will and pain, remnants of hope from long-forgotten prisoners remain trapped inside.

Harrowing Reconstitution
– As the Tormented Fragments attempt to reform their thrashing increases in intensity. All damage done by all Tormented Fragments is increased by 15% whenever a new Fragment escapes Belac's cage.

Explosive Anguish
– Tormented Fragments violently release all their pent up torment and anguish upon death, inflicting 1950000 to 2050000 Shadow damage to all enemies within 10 yards.

This legion stops at nothing when it comes to corrupt with Fel. I mean, corrupting murlocs weren't enough. They've also corrupting Shas now.

As for the Tomb of Sargeras, I know there is testing going on in the PTR for 7.2.5, but will the raid open with the release of 7.2.5? I thought I heard that ToS won't open until mid-to-late June whereas it seems like that would be a long time to wait for 7.2.5.

It will take place after 7.2.5 goes live - my guess is that we'll get a week or two of just the class changes, and then Tomb of Sargeras a few weeks later. Similar to Nighthold.

I wonder how hard that ad in the cage hit. Would a hunter with a tenacity pet be able to take care of it instead of tank?

Well, unless they learned their lesson from Nazgrim, the attacks where if you hit them you gain torment are going to be hilarious in LFR...

Avoid attacking Atrigan and Belac during and respectively, so you don't incur additional .

People have been having problems with the "don't hit them during X" mechanic since at least Wrath (maybe earlier?). Even Time Walking Pit of Saron can be awful on the last boss when people don't know/aren't paying attention to debuffs and how they damage other players.

Did they figure it would be easier to re-colour the models rather than design some from the ground up? I get the impression that blandness is where blizzard is heading with this expansion. No new content? Don't panic, we are re-colouring everything! Even the raids! Don't forget we are still charging people by the month for a game that people pay full price for on release.

this encounter is begging for some monty python references:maybe it could start with khadgar arguing with maeve or someone and saying saying "i didn't expect an inquisition" then the bosses jump out through a door:"NOOO-body expects the Spanish, errr, i mean, demonic Inquisition!""Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to sargeras.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again."*they walk out, shut the door then burst in again:"NOBODY expects the Demonic Inquisition! Amongst our weaponry are such diverse elements as: fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to sargeras, and nice spikey uniforms - Oh damn!"
